Email "sender" showing incorrect name from one account only, from blackberry only
I have three email accounts linked to my phone, recently if I send from one account, the message seems to come from a mystery sender - i.e message shows as being sent from "Sam Laidlaw" but the email address is correct. I've tried editing the account, deleting the account, modifying the account, nothing works. I've searched and "Sam Laidlaw" doesn't show up in any addresses, contacts, accounts etc - I don't know where it came from or how to delete it. Very frustrating as it is my work email that I use contantly and people are now asking "who is Sam Laidlaw"?
Solved!
Go to Solution.
I only ask because the recipient's device can control who an email appears to be from.
Aside from that, this is controlled by either the settings when you setup the account or the display name listed on the account itself.
What kind of account is it? GMail? Outlook.com? Yahoo!?

Messages from one account disappear from inbox
I run three email accounts into my Mail (4.2), including mobile me and a University (IMAP) account, on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Recently, and for no good reason I can see, the emails from the Uni account have started only to show in the inbox when new. Once opened, they disappear, and can't be seen anywhere, unless I search for them, in which case thay all appear again. Ditto for sent, deleted, and draft emails with the Uni tag.
The Uni recently changed its server, but I still don't know why this is happeing, or what to do about it.
Help, anyone?

[No body found] on all mails from one account
All mails I get from one account are empty, containing only [no body found].
The mail is fetched from the ISP via fetchmail, forwarded to Zarafa-Groupware and synced with the mobile devices via Z-push (OSS ActiveSync solution). All other mail clients work fine (Android, IOS, Nokia Mail for Exchange,...) and the calendar as well as notes and adresses all sync fine. Only the mail bodies are empty
The logs on the server look fine...
Any hints on how to get get it working? Or at least on how to get more debug info on the Z10?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
YcasHmmm...well, then the only thing I can recommend is that you contact your mobile service provider for formal support and, likely, escalation into BlackBerry. They may want to collect logs and such to see if they can replicate the problem. It also may simply be an unsupported provider...it's really quite impossible for any device to support every provider (I admit, it should work...but there is a slight chance...).
Good luck!

When I send an email from one of my accounts, it shows up as sent from another account. Does anyone know how to correct this?
As Ernie said, you need to create an SMTP server for each gmail account with the correct username and password. Be sure the correct server for each account is listed in the SMTP box and check the box to use only that server for that account.
Gmail's default behavior when sending from one account through another account's outgoing server is to change the address to the server which is used. Same goes if I send a message from my ATT/Yahoo account and use gmail's server to send through. It will change the ATT address to the gmail address.
There is an option in gmail's settings under the Account's tab under Send Mail As. You can add different gmail or other accounts such as Yahoo to this and choose how the gmail server handles it. You can set it to send as the sending account and not change the address. I've used this many times for my ATT account for sending through gmail when ATT accounts were having problems.

I have had an iphone 4s for about a year and have 4 email accounts that come in on it: verizon, gmail, my work, and icloud. Periodically, I send an email from one account, it shows the message as sent from that account in my sent mail, but the recipient receives it from the gmail account and therefore replies to the gmail. Has anyone had this happen? It is almost as if my messages are bouncing into gmail when I send them, although on my phone it shows as having been sent from another account. I have not had this happen on my computer where I have all of these emails coming in as well. I thought perhaps it was me not being careful about which account I was sending from when using my phone, but the mail I sent this morning I was very careful to make sure was from verizon, the sent mail on my phone shows it was sent from verizon, and the reply came in on gmail. Gmail isn't even the default email address- verizon is! My iphone is using version 6.1.3. Does anyone have any ideas? This is a major problem for me so I appreciate any ideas! Thank you!!!
I am not sure whether this is related, but I had a problem with Gmail where each time I sent and email via my iPhone it would bounce back in my Gmail account as unread. You migh want to check this Google article explaining why this happens and how to avoid it:

Sending from one account shows up as another
I am sure that there is something very simple in the settings that I am missing. My primary email account is a verizon one and it is linked to my Mail on my iMac and MacBook. When I send an email from my iPhone's Verizon account, however, it is received as if it were sent from my gmail account and consequently replies go there. This is not a critical issue, but just bothersome because I use each account for a different purpose and I am ending up forwarding then from one account to the other.
How do I correct this? It's almost like I set something as a primary account, but I can't find out where that may be.
Thanks.
CaroleHey all,
I suspect I'm having a similar problem. For some reason my primary server "smtp.mac.com" won't send messages so the iphone uses my next preferred server "smtp.gmail.com" to send messages. The problem here is that the replies then go to my gmail account (which for me is picked up by my mac and not my iphone).
This is a big problem for me as I sent an important email today from my iphone and received no reply which (in the context) meant everything was fine. However, I only found out much later in the day whey I got to my computer that in fact everything was not fine and I almost had to cancel meetings to be somewhere the next day all because the apple stuff is just dropping the ball when it comes to actual functionality for business use....
Anyway, I'm trying to find a solution. If I do I'll post another response. So far I'm looking at ditching mobileme (which is what I currently use as a free trial) and just using gmail and gmail calendar instead. -

Transferring email addresses from one account to another
I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this but after spending a good bit of time on the phone with FiOS customer service and technical support I just feel like venting my frustrations and hope that maybe someone could give me a valid explanation of why this cannot be done.
To give a brief (hopefully) summary of what's going on...
My wife and I are currently in the process of moving from Florida to Maryland because of the current job market and economy situation. As always...the moving process has been a "blast". For at least a few months we will be "between" homes and will be staying with friends. Because of this we had to cancel our FiOS service (which I did last week and it will be shutting off sometime today). Since we've been very please with the actual service FiOS provides we have (or maybe I should say "had") every intention of signing back up with Verizon once we're in a new home in the Maryland area.
So here's where the trouble comes into play...I contacted Verizon to see if it would be possible to somehow transfer our existing Verizon.net email addresses from our account to my friend's account (the person I'm staying with). You would've thought I was asking for a year's worth fo free service. Initially I was told by customer service that this can't be done. They explained that an email address is like a phone number and two separate accounts cannot have the same email address. Thanks for the newsflash! I explained again that what I wanted to do was move my email addresses so they would now be associated with my friends account. This didn't seem like such a horrible request considering my friend pays for FiOS service and with that gets 9 available email addresses....and was only using 2 of them. She ultimately just told me it was something that couldn't be done. But she did inform me of the "Verizon Your Domain" service that would allow current FiOS subscribers to associate their Verizon.net email account with a new domain name that you create. It would cost $20 per year and would allow you to keep your Verizon.net email if you canceled FiOS service. This sounded like an ok option.
But still -- I was curious why I couldn't transfer email addresses. So I then contacted technical support. This time it was explained to me that an email address was like a social security #. It couldn't just be given to another person. Great analogies in use at Verizon....I give them that. I told the guy I was a fellow "techie" and asked him for a more detailed explanation. That's when it got good. That's what killed me. He spent all this time talking about ACL's and routing and how email addresses couldn't be moved because "you're talking about 2 million addresses". Long and short he was trying to say the Verizon email system was just too complex. Finally I told him that it had to be something that could be done....and his exact words were "well sure it can be done...but we're not going to do it if you're not paying for a service". Wow! Great response! I've been a paying customer of FiOS for about two years. I've had some form of service with Verizon for about 15 years (from phone service to mobile service with V-Wireless). I fully understand that I'm no longer paying for FiOS service. But my friend is. And he has 7 email accounts he's not using. So why couldn't they be moved? Because the system is too complex? Give me a break. Like this guy finally admitted...it boils down to money.
Finally I gave up. I told my wife that we'd just have to deal with switching to a new email address. Life will move on. She wanted to try the "Verizon Your Domain" option though. She started doing the process online...had some questions....and decided to call customer service. She got transferred around to three different people...the last of which told her "you need to call a different department" and then CLICK.
Great, great job Verizon. All I ask is if someone could give me some sort of response that makes sense. If you just don't want to offer the transfer option then tell me.
I expect to be in a new home within a month or two. And suddenly Comcast is looking very good.spacedebris wrote:
Well, CS was right when they said that Verizon cannot transfer your email to another account. In order to do that they would have to overwrite the email of your friend ( I dont think your friend would apreciate that ). This is due to a limitation on the email system.
However, you may have another option. If you are going to be getting Verizon service again in the realitivly near future (4-8 weeks or so), Then after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email. That way you can continue to use it even though you dont have service any more. Now they cant do this for long but for temporary it can be done. Then once you get your service back, they can then move your existing email to your new account. (this can now be done as they will overwrite your new email with your old).
Now if your going to be without Verizon service for more than a couple months, you may be out of luck but this is one option
umm, oh bhoy!
In fact, a "repoint" of an email address CAN be completed onto another account AND it does not overwrite anything on the receiving account. Each acount, whether its a FiOS account or a copper account, has an account number. The email address is assigned to the account number. The email address can be "repointed" from one account to another, as an 'add-on' to the new account, then it can be 'repointed' back to another account later. HOWEVER, the contract does say that you must have a valid account. AND, Verizon cannot (no company can) allow you to manipulate someone else's account.
as to the "after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email", well, the fact is that the account has to be provisioned to an address. So, though I have come accross accounts that seemed to still be "on" after the listed close date, it was not something that verizon's tier 1 tech support can effect (that's who you get on the phone when you call tech support) (note that 'sales' could not do this for you, either) So good luck with that.
What happens is that Verizon will not allow anyone to take your email addresses for at least 6 months.
Before you cancelled you may have had an option to have a notice auto-replied to any email that gets sent to your email address, for a limited amount of time, like they can do with a telephone number ("this number has been changed to . . . . . ") that "this email address is temporarily suspended, or something. . . . I said MAY have had the opportunity. .. . but if it was me, I would get to where you are going and make sure they have Verizon internet account already and have them call verizon tech support (so they can verify their account info) with you standing there so that you can verify your old account info and immediately and plainly ask if you can have an email "repoint" done for you.

I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?
You should be able to open both accounts.
I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
(With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

If you are having issues with getting emails on your iPhone or iPad, then take a look at the article below to give you some troubleshooting options to get it working again. Make sure that the settings and passwords are correct for your email and if you still have issues, then you may want to remove the email account from your device and then add it back in.

I have more than one iCloud account.... Once an email alias is deleted from one account.... can it then be used by another account? If so, how long after it's deletion before it's made available?
Aliases remain tied forever to the account which created them. They cannot be moved to another account, converted to a full account, nor reinstated after being deleted.

Move Verizon E-mail address from one account to another
I am wondering if it is possible to move an email address from one account to another. I am the primary account holder for a couple of email addresses - one of which is my mother-in-law. I am discontinuing my Verizon account but she has since started a Verizon FIOS account at her house. I'd like to move her email address to her account so the switch for her is painless (or as painless as possible). Thanks, in advance, for your help.
Yes and No. As of right now they will not move email address unless the name on both accounts match exactly.
